Call class instance method while debugging in eclipse

Question

How do I call a class instance method while debugging in eclipse?

For example lets say I have the following code:

...
Canvas canvas = m_SurfaceHolder.lockCanvas();
canvas.drawColor(0xff000000);
...

And I have a breakpoint on the line canvas.drawColor. When I debug, the code stops at that line and I can view the variables inside canvas, but I also want to be able to call the methods inside canvas to see what they return like I can in visual studio, is this possible?

Open the Display view, type the code you want to execute in it, select it, right-click, and click "Execute", "Display" or "Inspect", depending on what you want to do.
